Description

Aromatic Aster (Symphyotrichum oblongifolium) is perfect if you are looking to add color to your fall landscape with its small, violet blue daisy-like flowers.  Aromatic Asters behave well in gardens, forming almost shrub-like rounded clumps that contrast to the leggy growth habits of many other asters.  Aromatic Asters can grow in a variety of disturbed sites, making them an ideal match for wildlife restoration projects.
